- [Isac] Hi, I'm Isac Artzi, and welcome to C Essential Training. C is a very powerful functional programing language that's widely used and that has influenced many of languages. Most of the programing languages popular today, are either directly descendants of C, or are heavily influenced by C. In this course I'll show you the basics of a C program, and then we'll dive into the details of data types, strings and variables. Then, I'll show you how these basic ideas fit together with control structures like loops and if statements.
After that, we'll take a look at how C organizes information in arrays, and how it manages memory using pointers. Throughout the course I will emphasize good, functional programing practices. Learning C is a great first step if you are a new programmer, and a very good way to broaden your knowledge if you've already been programming for a while, so let's get started with C Essential Training.
Q: How do I configure a C compiler in Windows?
Q: How do I use the exercise files on a Windows machine?
A: On Windows, the exercise files require a change to the compiler settings to enable C99 support. To change the compiler settings, follow these steps:
1) Right-click on the .c file and choose Properties.
2) Under C/C++ Build and Settings, change the Command value to
“gcc -std=c99”. Click OK.
